As we approach the end of february

It has been a busy month , I really should try and post more frequently. I am on a bit of a stitching slump , as i am soo tired at the moment , hoping to do a square for the quilts for breast cancer to get me back on track , here's hoping.

The boys have had a birthday in February , I can't believe they are 11 already, how time flies.

I tried some sultana and carrot muffins this morning which were very nice, now i must work out how to download my pics from phone to pc :)

Will go and read the manual picture to follow hopefully

Pic as promised

I can't believe we are over

halfway through January and I have still not posted. On a bit of a stitching slump at the moment so slowly trying to get back into the swing of things.

I am going to sit down and do a list of what i want to do this year and start making a list so i have something to tick off

On the up i have picked up reading again, just finished Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult, another page turner.

Back into Sewing


Here is my messy handbag , how do I manage to find anything !!!!!







Have been thinking about making a bag organiser for ages, couldn't find a pattern that i liked, so decided to do a "Jordy" bag with pockets inside and out , without handles. I added a key chain to hold my keys and a drawstring for added security as my purse is on inside. It even holds a book on the outside pockets along with a bottle of water and still has loads of empty pockets . I love it !!!!! Here it is inside my current bag











And here is it ready to move into a different bag










I am so pleased with it , hopefully i will be able to find everything when i want it

Just discovered that lillies are posionous to cats!!!

We have had Georgie cat for 14 years and never noticed it before. We know have an inquisitive male kitten who is into everything including lillies so i found out yesterday. Luckily my sister who is a vet was visiting , and she knew exactly what was wrong with him.

Having never been sick before this poor wee kitten was sick while she was here , he was also very lethargic. Because he was sick so soon after , he will be fine , but unfortuneatley no more lillies in my house until he is less nosey!!!!

Here's Georgie and Tux , he is the one on the pillow , I think she is thinking "This is as close as you get".
